- In the last 250 years, humans have drastically and irreversibly transformed the Earth. Greenhouse gases emitted by human industries have changed the planet’s climate, presenting the single greatest threat humanity has ever faced. If humans can cause such incredible damage to the Earth in 250 years, what will our planet look like in 1000 years time?

Man the animation in these videos is amazing, you guys deserve way more views.
Agreed
Talking about future is all about speculation so there is no right or wrong. This channel can come of as being a bit on the dystopian side for some peoples' liking.
Agree
some videos already have more than 1 million views :p
Agreed
Nuclear reactors using thorium produce FAR less waste and has an almost zero chance of having a meltdown. Nuclear gets such a bad rap
And FAR less power. Besides, you don't need to change the power source for safety (unless availability is the issue), for instance: replacing water with molten salt effectively eliminates the possibility of catastrophic explosion.
"Eventually the laws of nature will right humanity's wrongs" -- gave me the chills.
It's quite true, the planet will survive with or without us. Even after a nuclear war.
@@mauryagoel4857 fax
Exactly 💯
@@mauryagoel4857 It's interesting to think about what the future dominant species would be like.
Yeah worry i pray for y’all but i’m built diff. Gonna survive this shit alone
You did nuclear power a real disservice. It is safely disposed of otherwise we wouldn't be using it. While I get the "nuclear waste barrel" is instantly recognizable, it doesn't look like that at all and conjures images of unsafe disposal which isn't true. It would probably have been better to say "use nano-materials to more efficiently dispose of radioactive waste."
Edit: For those wondering or interested, I'm referring to a video by Kyle Hill titled "We solved nuclear waste decades ago." Give it a watch. It's very informative. And while you're at it, watch his other videos about nuclear power.
Jep. Same concern
Thank you, I also agree with you and have watched Kyle stand up for nuclear energy for quite some time, if the masses only knew.
Hey, I do not agree 😅:)
Yes it's true the nuclear waste is no threat right now, but.. You probably know about the half time of nuclear waste (?), I think it's impotent to take a clear view on this topic and see the pro and cons.
Yes it's a really big catastrophy when something goes wrong AND the waste will stay for CENTURIES.
And we can not really know what's happening in 50, 100, 200, 800 or even 1000 years.. (hope you don't forget the struggle a few weeks ago when russians were next to the chernobly power plant, and there was shooting...)
I let that sink 😅
But, Nuclear Power is relatively clean and can be used for long times on missions were you cant get more fuel when you're on the mission (space, mars, deap sea, ect.)
So yeah, I think in the last view month, many people talked about 'the great nuclear power' and I'm like.... Meh, they gonna blow us up, cause safety ranked second, right behind profit 😅🙃👌
Btw. I also watched the video from Kyle Hill
As well the fact that thorium reactors are much cleaner than uranium reactors and the fact that nuclear fusion reactors are much closer to being in use than the timescale of this video
For the issue of radioactive waste, the easiest way to solve this would be to switch to a new fuel source such as Thorium. Thoriums waste only stays around for 100 years at most and is far less radioactive, and most of all could be reused again to provide even more power. The thing is this tech already exists but governments refuse to invest the billions or trillions of dollars needed to upgrade and refit their reactors. Instead they are doing the opposite shutting them down and permanently.
the issue with thorium is that there is not that much in the world. its also used for nukes isn't it
@@israelchavezjr8224 I believe you are correct about both issues, but it will give us maybe 50-100 years of power. Allowing technology to develop enough for us to hopefully have another answer to our problem, and the fuel for Thorium can be used multiple times before it goes to crap.
Actually there's an even easier fix, put in the ground with all the other nuclear waste.
@@israelchavezjr8224 Thorium 232 is as abundant as lead. It is three times more abundant in the crust as Uranium, and it is mined as a byproduct of rare earth metals. It is practically a free resource if used for thorium reactors.
@@TCBYEAHCUZ Oh so I wasn't wrong aye.
Dear person from the future reading this in 3022, is this accurate?
Yes
As a guy from 2053
Idk
3023 Now
no, yt will not exist for so long
Yo this is Metalback from the year 4028, we’re in Mars right now, earth is on fire.
The future has much potential for our destruction, but every year it becomes more profitable to be greener. I have hope for us. We may not meet the Paris Climate Agreement goals, but I think we will get close enough for Earth to not become apocalyptic.
I hope we can stop our own destruction
as long as there is profit, governments and big corporations will follow it
@@bluemassgamer17 it wont destroy our species. Just decimale the population
Capitalism for you. We are only worth saving if it’s profitable
Nuclear waste isnt nearly the issue people believe it to be. Most of it is the garments of the workers or the like and is safe to be disposed of regularly after a handful of months. Almost all nuclear waste is inert within a decade and the little bit that isn't is able to be stored so many miles below the surface even the worse earthquakes we have on record wouldn't even be close to a risk to the waste itself.
3 mile island was had no explosion and was completely contained, practically just a pr incident. Even Fukishima has officially claimed 0 lives due to radiation. Only Chernobyl was a true nuclear disaster and it was run by a government that both didnt care and doenst exist any longer, so many safety precisions are in place it is nearly impossible for another disaster to occur and certainly not to the same scale.
The issue with deep-below-storage are not earthquakes but 1) on the short term, underground water. It could carry contamination into sears, rivers, and reservoirs. 2) On the long term, tectonics. In a couple hundred thousand years, "2 miles below" might well turn into an exposed mountaintop.
Ukraine has a government what are you talking about
@@belphiespillow2268 yes but at the time wasnt it under the soviet union?
@@zsoltsz2323 czcams.com/video/4aUODXeAM-k/video.html
also half lives, ifit takes a hunded thousand years the material will be extremely weak if radioactive at all
@@zsoltsz2323 Couple hundred thousand years duration, and that waste is completely safe to handle with bare hands. Copper and stainless steel don't dissolve to groundwater either, nor clay.
Honestly was expecting this video to say:
"not much has changed, but we live underwater..."
i really was hoping you were going to talk about all the benefits of nuclear power. this just shows you did very little research into the subject of nuclear power.
once you look past all the people who baselessly fearmonger you will discover that it truly is one of the best ways to have clean energy. at least for the next 100 years. at which point we will hopefully be mostly transitioned to renewables.
I just wanted to watch a video about the future of humanity regarding innovations, instead getting a video about how we "need to do better" 😑
It's been a while since I got notifications of you uploads. Glad to know that it was my notifications not working and that you're still uploading great work!
This is a great channel! Thank you for your hard work!
your use of colours and gradients is absolutely mesmerizing
Gosh I love how you addressed our need to work to make this happen. Thank you for the lovely words and artwork
I just got your video recommended by the algorithm, this ist one of the greatest channels I discovered in a long, long time… the art style really is breathtaking! I will definitely share and recommend it to my friends 💖
Koranos you are improving! Animations are always awesome sam as stories and videos in general!
I see a lot of people in these comments calling humans a "plague" or a "cancer". That's the worst possible way to see your own species and society. I firmly believe that looking at what we can become, who we can be, and the better we can do is the right way forward. I think being proud to be human and wanting the best for it's future is the best thing we can do for the planet.
For example, if you see you and everyone around you as filth, then cleaning up trash on the side of the road becomes "just another day". However, if you decide to see yourself as a human who is capable of great things that can do your part, then you see the trash and pick it up. Which makes you feel better about humanity.
You are missing one crucial truth. The world and all wildlife WOULD be better of without humans.
The world DOES NOT need humans.
We are trying to fix problems that we created, but which would never have been created if we were never here.
In other words, only humans believe that humans are amazing. That's narcissism.
Misanthropy is the contemporary cool these days because believing in anything as meaning disintegrates all around us is observed as naïve and childish. Good on you for your sentiments. I agree.
Also, people saying these things are, at the very least, being disingenuous; nobody can actually choose to live and espouse these concepts at the same time. They all secretly have hope that things will be awesome one day.
@@devendietrich3445 I agree, eloquently put. I personally subscribe to the philosophy that humans are destined for greatness and that it is all a process. Doesn't mean that we can sit back and let everything work out, we still need to be careful and active, but I do believe that we have a responsibility to be something greater than ourselves.
@@Cloudnine2024 I never said only humans are amazing, but even if I did, that is not narcissistic. That would be anthropocentrism. The world does not need us, but we are here and that is reason enough for us to persue greatness because otherwise what is the point.
Not to mention that if we all vanished right now, the ecological disaster that would follow would only speed up a lot of the issues presented today. I say we should see the challenges we have created and seek to solve them, not worry and bicker about misanthropic ideals like edgy middle schoolers. Is doesn't do anything.
@@paradigm2266 we are the Earth's only mechanism for escaping it's long term fates of which there are several in array. Perhaps a little warming along the way is a small price if we can ascribe value to anything that is.
What a nice video. Thank you so much. This topic troubles me a lot in recent months
your videos are so damn amazing, soon you're gonna blow up for sure!
Fun fact: While we survived CERN re-launching, they have a decade-long plan to expand their infrastructure into one that is over 3x it’s current size.
I’ve had dreams of a particle accelerator in the far future that circled our planet, similar to the ring of Saturn. In the far, but relatively… near future.
That sounds cool, but what would it achieve? Who possibly needs a particle accelerator that large?
@@andrewcarr2023 never say never
2100 is the end of the world.
@@robertoconstantin126 Lay your end of the world bs somewhere else. I'm pretty sure every generation has been saying the same thing for millennia now.
@@revenger211 do you think the human race is going to survive for 1000 years more? i dont.
Nuclear fusion will def be a thing in 100 years and it's 100% clean, safe, and produces basically no waste. It can also be much more efficient than other methods provided you develop the right technologies (1000 years ago we had vikings and now we have people in space and nuclear reactors so I'm sure future scientists will find a way to make really good fusion.)
No. Even if all pollution problems are solved (though a nuclear fusion accident is very hard to prevent) the problem is that the heat energy radiated is just too colossal to be dispersed through space. Pollution through CO2 is actually limited in comparison : burning most carbon would bring back carboniferous conditions as a ceiling though it would be very uncomfortable for humans. But infinite heat being radiated would meet no ceiling.
Fantastic video as always
Happy to be here before Koranos makes it bigtime. Great videos and animations.
Great video 👍
Hey, love your videos. Would you guys consider making a playlist and adding new videos to it as it comes out? I really enjoy listening to these while I fall asleep
Already subscribed. But Set my alarm bell. Love the channel!!
Subbed, awesome content
you guys and kurzgesagt are the goats of this app fr
This was beautiful. Well done
We al ready have safe nuclear waste storage.
I love your videos but I feel like this missed the mark in regards to nuclear and the fact fusion wasn't mentioned either is also mind boggling.
Still keep up the good work like your other videos not so much this one.
I'm all for fusion investment but I wouldn't plan anything on it until it's actually working. If it ever will be.
Thank you for the amount of time you must have invested on these videos
Great video, very awesome
The animation are so damn beautiful. Thanks a lot.
Good video!
I love your videos dude
This channel is so amazing!!
Fascinating presentation, as usual
Stunning!!
Awesome production
Hi Koranos!
I love the animations and visuals of your channel it’s absolutely amazing ❤. However I want to give a bit of honest feedback: I think you should research your target audience and figure out what kind of information they’re interested in. For me personally, I love science and read a lot about all kinds of stuff. But everything you tell me I already know. I feel like you give introductions to scientific topics rather than in depth views. However, the people that get this channel recommended might already be interested in science therefore looking for more advanced knowledge. Just a thought, could be wrong of course, overall very nice videos. 😊
I honestly did not think this video was scientific. They are telling you things you 'already know' when that stuff is utter hokem you had crammed down your throat in high school. No - planet Earth will not be a fireball in 1000 years time. That objectively will not happen. Climate change is a real phenomenon. But there is climate change and then there is climate hysteria. This is more an example of the latter. Humans don't impact the environment quite as much as certain people think. Our Earth is highly resilient and has survived protoplanetary collision, the late heavy bombardment, impact with a giant meteorite and multiple ice ages yet life still continues and thrives. Hysteria detracts from solving real issues by making the subject sound nonsensical. It is always best and most important to present facts to avoid spreading harmful disinformation.
very nice video
Why do i have to see the future in this video the second i sit down on the toilet 💀🚽
Great vid!
(For the algorithm :D )
Man this channel has come so far, I was one of the first 1k subs
Incredibly Nice
Very interesting to talk about
A study by Oxford’s researchers produced a massive data-set based on approximately 40,000 farms in 119 countries. It covered 40 food products representing 90% of all food consumption. It also looked at the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, land use, emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification).
The results, according to the researchers, were very convincing.
"A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use," said Oxford's Joseph Poore, who led the research. "It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car," he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions.
I guess we are doomed
So punish the only enjoyment the lower classes have in life while saying it's ok for the rich to keep their toxic hobbies
This channel will be big!
It boggles my mind why people are against nuclear power. It’s the quickest way to reverse our destructive course, and the technology already exists. This will provide us critical time to better develop solar, wind, and hydro power to better efficiency.
Maybe because we associate nuclear with bomb. The Chernobyl disaster and the fukushima disaster are example of the consequences of a nuclear plant disaster.
Also nuclear plant are more expensive and need skilled engineers to mantain it.
Good production overall. I was pretty happy with it until towards the end when they included a plug about moving to another planet. This is a repeat of the fallacious "Interstellar" plotline and makes absolutely no sense. If future humans have the technology to reach, let alone terraform a distance world into a place that is habitable for humans, then such humans would certainly be able to fix any environmental problems with the Earth.
Mom: we have in a nutshell at home
In a nutshell at home:
Ah yes, "Kürze"
Good Google translate.
i hope you as big as kurzgesagt or maybe more love the animation 👍
Perfect timing
I assure you, the concept of Quantum Remembrance May be able to solve many of humanity’s existential problems.
My advice? Keep learning and searching for the truth for genuine good. I think you will be guided in the right direction so long as you do not lose touch.
Knowledge of science totally from your channels is necessary to human brain's my salutes to your mottos ❤❤❤

People often forget, thermal energy, just dig a hole really deep, stick a metal rod in it, it can heat your house & also water to make it vapor that can turn thurbines & make electricity 24/7
I just realized you're right, I never thought about that.
Im kind of puzzled on how and why is this channel havent surpassed a million subs yet.
thank you for not saying "we are destroying the planet" and pointing out we are making it uninhabitable. Earth will be fine and continue on without us just fine as is has for billions of years.
Actually we have about 500 Mill to 1billion years left before the sun runs out of hydrogen and starts to swell up to a red giant and will boil our oceans and burn the planet to a crisp. Earth was born by fire and will die by fire.
Goose bumps man! AGAIN!!
Forgot to comment early on this one. Just started the video but I know it’s going to be a banger per usual
Well…this is something to look forward to!
“…Begining in the late 18th century during the industrial revolution”……so, the ~1780’s? It’s on the internet, so it must be true. I guess the history books are off by 100 years.
He probably meant to say “18 hundreds”
you're so underrated, if you ask me these animations are better than kurzgesagt's. But hey! it took kurzgesagt time to be so popular, you will too
kurzgesagt vibes. Keep up the great work guys.
Have you, do you or will you collab with kurzgesagt ? Because this type of video need way more views and what about putting your talents in common, creating a TV channel or educational videos for kids because the content, ideas, organisation, animations, graphic designs, your relaxing voices, messages etc... All the work behind is very interesting
This was so good to watch, incredible animations and really hammering home the truth on climate change
CZcams needs to start recommending this guy to more people than just kurtsgeszat fans
You deserve more for your struggle
This is a very well made video 💯 terrific work
Another video that simply explain what is going on and show the realistic solution in future by science, in stead of dictating people not to do something. Brilliant.
One of the most beautifull videos i've seen ! So wonderfully explained and the graphician/drawer, just a PROFFESIONAL ! I've seen it 3 times alredy and would still enjoy it again and again ! Thx you guyz, for making such beautifull things :X !
Ps: Science is sexy and hot ! 💪❤️✌️
No one ever mentions nuclear fusion
unlike other u videos great.
I want this Dude to narrate my Day.
Kurzgesagt vibes from the narrators voice and the way he talks lol
I like it
what animation do they use? wondering for myself
I remember when this channel had 20ish subs
your team is the Kurzgesagt when the Kurzgesagt team doesnt upload in a while. thank you.
"What's the point - this world is beyond redemption. Let the human cattle have it." - Vorador
Logistics and Politics are the ones to be worked on.
This is more doom and gloom than Kurzgesagt!
This channel is just like Kurzgesagt!
How is the title related to the video?
I wish people wouldn’t spread anti nuclear propaganda like this, nuclear power plants are very very safe and nuclear waste is not the issue behind nuclear power. The issue is the cost and time limitations of building a plant
Mainly due to policies in place due to governments afraid of nuclear energy due to the bad rep it has gotten for literally no reason.
If people stopped hiding away from nuclear and we actually developed and rapidly iterated on it we would be so much further ahead than we are now.
It's sad really yet in their infinite delusion they still believe electric cars to be "greener" yet the energy is mainly still coming from coal power plants that charge them. The materials that go into the batteries are not green, the waste due to the batteries not being easily recycled as well as the shipping of all these materials literally back and forth across the world at each stage of the products manufacturing.
Thousand times better animations from the info graphic show which only feeds it's viewers bullcrap and lies...
Well done will sub
Numbers of human needs to keep lower
Humanity will survive even 100,000 years from now as technology advances and helps solve problems. In this case, only the rich will survive.
Here is an alternative school of thought, what if in the future we exhaust all materials to maintain our advanced tech and we slowly revert back to more primitive tech?
@@Xenotaris U see nuclear war is inevitable, it is bound to happen in future. And when is happens technology will regress.
This video has points people on both sides of the climate change issue can agree on. I encourage people to watch the whole video
Anyone watching in 3024 ? Damn bruh I died around 930 years ago
Once again another brilliant video!
Only issue is around 6:30 - nuclear fission uses netrons to split atoms apart, therefore those white particles should either be red or blue and the same size as the other nucleons. But this is just a minor issue, the video was still extremely well animated and incredibly thought provoking
do you think nanotechnology is the solution for the disaster of climate change?
wonderful animation. rivals that of kurzgesagt
a question before watching the video, if we can terraform mars? why can´t we save earth after making the echological changes irreversible? I always wonder about it
Cool
very interesting!
When we talk about lowering the global temperature; consider the 1.5 degree increase over 170 years seems to be causing an increase in extreme weather patterns, would a sharp and drastic drop back down not cause similar disruption?
Don’t know who I’m asking this to… meteorologists, I suppose
I don't think we're gonna last 100 years
Glad you brought up animal farming. People never see how eating meat the way we do is a huge problem.
